In October 2019, the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests saw a further escalation of violence. It became evident that the protests were unlikely to end soon, and that they posed the biggest popular challenge to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping since his ascension to CCP general secretary in 2012. To bring the situation under control, Chief Executive Carrie Lam invoked colonial-era powers to impose an anti-mask law, aimed at preventing protesters from hiding their identity. Observers considered the law, which came into force on 4 October, as a precedent for possible wider use of emergency powers at the expense of citizens' freedoms and in addition democratic rights, as they even saw the possibility of the upcoming District Council elections being cancelled based on the emergency law

  • 反對《逃犯條例》修訂草案運動在2019年10月持續。10月1日警方首次用實彈擊傷示威者,以及10月4日行政長官會同行政會議通過出台、10月5日正式實施的援引《緊急法》的反蒙面法引起社會更強烈的反彈,令雙方武力進一步升級。惟有美國總統特朗普在內的一些觀察認為,香港示威人數已經開始減少。 (zh)
